Business Because posted Is your Business School Really That International?, a commentary on internationalization of Business Schools and GBSN's focus on the importance of developing home-grown talent in emerging markets around the globe.
The commentary discusses GBSN CEO Guy Pfeffermann's conviction that "there's a disconnect between where the jobs will be and what business schools are offering."
While business schools talk a lot about diversity and a global experience, most of them don’t really provide it, says Guy Pfeffermann who heads a network of business schools in developed and emerging countries.
“Every business school in the world claims to be international,” says Pfeffermann, who is founder and CEO of the Global Business School Network (GBSN), based in Washington DC.
However, he says, this just isn’t true. Meeting targets for the number of countries represented in each MBA class or sending students abroad on short consulting projects or exchanges only has a superficial impact. Recent research by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools) backs up this conclusion.
